ABOUT THE MS SNOWMOBILE TOUR
One of Wisconsin’s best-loved and longest-running snowmobile rides, the MS Snowmobile Tour is designed for riders of all levels and raises funds for research, programs and services for those affected by multiple sclerosis. That includes more than 11,000 children, women and men in Wisconsin, which is believed to be one of the higher prevalence rates in the nation. In total, participants have raised more than $7 million over the past 32 years.

About Multiple Sclerosis

Multiple sclerosis is an unpredictable, often disabling disease of the central nervous system that disrupts the flow of information within the brain, and between the brain and body. Symptoms range from numbness and tingling to blindness and paralysis. The progress, severity and specific symptoms of MS in any one person cannot yet be predicted, but advances in research and treatment are leading to better understanding and moving us closer to a world free of MS. Most people with MS are diagnosed between the ages of 20 and 50, with at least two to three times more women than men being diagnosed with the disease. MS affects more than 2.3 million people worldwide.
